Each vitamins has a specific role in
the body
Vitamin D is one of the important

this is the only vitamin that can be
produced by our body.

Objectives
To assess the adequacy of maternal
vitamin D status by measuring
maternal serum and breast milk 25hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels.
To determine the association
between maternal serum and
breast milk 25(OH)D levels.
Methods
Sample size: 102 pregnant women, aged 19-40
years
25(OH)D analysis:
Blood samples were drawn at 18 & 34 weeks
gestation
Breast milk samples were collected at delivery, 2,
6 and 12 months postpartum were collected to
analyze for 25(OH)D levels
Performed by High Performance Liquid
Chromatography (HPLC)
Depending on maternal serum 25(OH)D levels,
the women were categorized as severe vitamin D
deficiency (<25 nmol/L), mild vitamin D
deficiency (25 to <50 nmol/L), vitamin D
Results
Discussion
Prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency
was high among the pregnant
women.
Serum vitamin D level during early
pregnancy is associated with the
breast milk vitamin D level at birth.

Objectives
To compare levels of vitamin D
